+==================
+
+The CCS PLL calculator is used to compute the PLL configuration, given sensor's
+capabilities as well as board configuration and user specified configuration. As
+the configuration space that encompasses all these configurations is vast, the
+PLL calculator isn't entirely trivial. Yet it is relatively simple to use for a
+driver.

-V4L2 clocks
------------
-
-.. attention::
-
- This is a temporary API and it shall be replaced by the generic
- clock API, when the latter becomes widely available.
-
-Many subdevices, like camera sensors, TV decoders and encoders, need a clock
-signal to be supplied by the system. Often this clock is supplied by the
-respective bridge device. The Linux kernel provides a Common Clock Framework for
-this purpose. However, it is not (yet) available on all architectures. Besides,
-the nature of the multi-functional (clock, data + synchronisation, I2C control)
-connection of subdevices to the system might impose special requirements on the
-clock API usage. E.g. V4L2 has to support clock provider driver unregistration
-while a subdevice driver is holding a reference to the clock. For these reasons
-a V4L2 clock helper API has been developed and is provided to bridge and
-subdevice drivers.
-
-The API consists of two parts: two functions to register and unregister a V4L2
-clock source: v4l2_clk_register() and v4l2_clk_unregister() and calls to control
-a clock object, similar to the respective generic clock API calls:
-v4l2_clk_get(), v4l2_clk_put(), v4l2_clk_enable(), v4l2_clk_disable(),
-v4l2_clk_get_rate(), and v4l2_clk_set_rate(). Clock suppliers have to provide
-clock operations that will be called when clock users invoke respective API
-methods.
-
-It is expected that once the CCF becomes available on all relevant
-architectures this API will be removed.
